Paul Morse, William Siegfriedt, Michael Smith
STAFF PRESENT: Carolyn Collopy, Dennis Marino, Bobbie Newman
CITIZENS PRESENT: Jim Tansor of Nicor
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Joel Freeman, Chair
I. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freeman called the meeting to order at 7:20 a.m., a quorum being present.
He welcomed Jim Tansor, Nicor's Liaison to the City of Evanston and Carolyn
Collopy, City of Evanston's Sustainable Programs Coordinator.
I1. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF DECEMBER 12, 2007*
The Commission voted by majority With one abstaining to approve the December
12, 2007 meeting notes subject to Freddi Greenberg's review of her presentation.
Mr. Morse requested some terminology be clarified. Ms. Haas requested
clarification of the "opt in" law.
III. DISCUSSION WITH JIM TANSOR, NICOR
Mr. Marino introduced Mr. Tansor, Nicor Liaison to the City of Evanston, adding
that he plays many roles in the company and in the region, including working
with the Evanston Department of Public Works.
Mr. Tansor thanked the Commission for inviting him. His presentation is to
enlighten the Commission about Nicor and what they are doing in the City of
Evanston and assure the Commission that the}' have plenty of natural gas to serve
the community. Nicor Gas is a distribution utility company, which means they
distribute ,gas in the northern third of Illinois, from about the Bloomington/
Normal area north to the Wisconsin border. They do not serve the city of Chicago
or certain areas of Lake County. and along the Mississippi River there are some
areas served by another utility company. They maintain over 32,000 miles of
pipe. They serve 640 incorporated communities and many unincorporated
communities. They have 2.2 million customers. Evanston is an older
community; therefore it was a community in the time when gas was being
manufactured. Natural gas is just like oil. Pockets of gas are found in geology. It
is pulled out of the ground with the same equipment they use to extract oil. They

process it to remove sulfur and water. They capture condensibles like butane and
ethane that have value on the market. That natural gas is then pumped under high
pressure up to various markets, Chicago being a market for it. In the days when
the original city gas main system was put in here, gas was manufactured. There
was a gas manufacturer in Skokie at McCormick Blvd. and Oakton. There they
took coke, a form of coal, and put it into a "cooker." They cooked the coal and
the resulting gas was captured and purified. That was called to%%m gas. If you had
street lights that were run by gas instead of lighting them with oil in the late
1800's or early 1900's, that was really advanced. It meant you were a town. In
the 1930's to 1950's natural gas was coming into play. Our system is an old cast
iron low pressure system. Steel systems were put in place and pressures started to
get higher as steel went into the system. Currently, a standard industry gas system
has pressure up to about 60 pounds per square inch (psi). If you were at the site
of a main and hit it, it would sound like a jet engine going off as it releases the
natural gas. The older system made of cast iron, which had bell joints that came
together with lead like in water service, was low pressure. That gas had to go into
a water tower. They had no regulators on them. They had to come into the home
below grade. You had to worry about frost. Here in Evanston, we still have some
of the old low pressure system and some of the newer, modem gas system.
Mr. Tansor showed the Commission a sample of the new system, called the
"service." It is put in with directional boring. It uses electrically heated taps to
cut in the service branches. The sample is 2 inch diameter, typical of what goes
along a residential street. A'/Z inch service goes to a home or a small business.
The fusion, which is made of copper coils. is melted on to the joint. Once it is
fused on and cooled, it is stronger than the medium -density polyethylene that the
pipe is made of. It is great in that they can minimize the damage they have to do
putting it in. Their goal is to eventually get rid of all the low pressure gas mains,
which means that the meters that are inside homes will come outside. They will
have a regulator on them, which will take that 60 lb. gas and knock it down to that
low pressure needed for gas appliances in homes. It will take some years before
Us is completed. They are focusing their efforts on the communities that ring
around the city of Chicago because that is where all the low pressure systems are.
Mr. Tansor said that regarding the Ridge Avenue project Nicor has at least 2-4
meetings a year with John Burke of the: City of Evanston. They talk about the
projects each of them are doing. What drives Nicor's projects are I ) That they
have an engineer who identities leak history. deciding where: they have to make
main replacements and 2) Public improvements: for example, their gas main is in
the ground and the community is doing a street restoration project such as putting
in a new sewer line. There is a good chance that the gas main will be in conflict
because it sits up high in the utility ditch. So Nicor will go in under a franchise
agreement and put in a new gas main and retire the old one, as occurred on Ridge
Avenue. That is also happening on Sheridan Road. They are finishing Ridge a
year ahead of time for the big project. All the gas mains and "services" have been
put in. They are now making appointments with the customers that are impacted
and need to be converted to the new system. They go into their homes or

businesses and attach their lines to the new gas meter and service and they cut
away the old one. Ridge;71[ probably be finished early this year. This major
project had not been done for 47 years and probably will not be done for another
47 years. This material is not subject to corrosion, like the old cast iron, so it
should still be effective for 50 to 100 years. Nicor worked with the City on
Sheridan Road. It is a project of IDOT. The Village of Wilmette is running it.
Once it was identified that there were Nicor gas mains in conflict with the early
part of the project, Nicor received a letter saying they had 90 days to remove their
mains. They had 2 choices: either to put money into the old system which would
have made no sense because they would have had to rip up the road later anyway,
or they could replace the entire old system with the new one, which is what they
elected to do. In order to attach the new system, they had to come into the
northern part of Evanston near Isabella. That is where their header system for
high pressure is. Before Christmas they started running this gas main, stopped for
the Christmas season, and they are back again. They will be pressurizing the line.
Currently they are putting in the services. There will be 8,900 feet of main in the
northern part of Evanston that will serve this line. When they are finished they
will cut out the old main and let the Sheridan Road project come onstream.
Eventually they will use that project to finish off the rest of the community that
may have been tied into the old main system. Sheridan Road and Ridge Avenue
are the two main current projects.
For 2008, Nicor will be meeting with the City to discuss putting off many major
projects with all the traffic coming out of Ridge and Sheridan. Anything they do
will be coordinated with John Burke and David Jennings. Their goal is to
coordinate with the City on the timing of projects, minimizing traffic issues.
They will come back in 2009 if necessary and work together to get the new gas
main system in.
There Are no issues with getting enough gas to the Evanston community.
Regarding Evanston trying to be green, Nicor annually has a meeting with the
City and their transportation department to identify how much gas is going
through Evanston so Nicor can track is as part of their program.
Mr. Tansor opened the discussion to questions.
Mr. Marino asked if he would address the northwest Evanston problem a few
years ago that caused a lot of Nicor work in the area. Mr. Tansor explained that
the Village of Wilmette had a water main that broke next to one of Nicor's old
cast iron gas mains. The force of the high pressure water main was so strong that
when they cut out the damaged gas pipe, they discovered that the water had left a
perfectly round coupon cut out of the low pressure gas main system. That water
filled up hundreds of thousands of gallons into the low pressure gas main network
and worked its way beyond Wilmette into north Evanston. Nicor had no previous
similar situation to refer to in alleviating this problem. When they put pressure on
a main to blow out the water, all the water did was elongate and come back

because the system had been built with pitch to drain the condensate from the
original town gas. But when moisture -free natural gas was introduced, the
troublesome drains were sealed. So they were blowing it out and nothing was
happening. They kept the old system where they were successful. Where they
were not successful, they used every contractor available, and Mr. Tansor and his
partner worked around the clock, on 12 hour shifts, to cut up the old system and
put in new high pressure gas mains. In the case of the Three Crowns retirement
home, they laid high pressure piping on top of the ground (it was in January),
sandbagged it, and then in the spring when the weather cleared, they buried the
new system. The southern part of Wilmette and much of the northern part of
Evanston is almost all high pressure now. Nicor has a contract with Integrys,
formerly People's Energy Corp., where they come to Nicor's aid in shutting off
all the meters and turning them all back on. It was a monumental project that
took about a week to do. Many people expressed their appreciation for Nicor's
effort. Nicor appreciates the efforts of the City of Evanston's staff. As a
monopoly, it is Nicor's job to keep their customers satisfied and in service. Mr.
Morse asked where the money came from for this project. Mr. Tansor replied that
it came from Nicor's budget. There was much communication with Wilmette.
He does not know the legal outcome. It was something that would not have been
budgeted for. Nicor did not raise rates because of the project. There was no
impact to any of Nicor's customers' bills. Mr. Freeman asked if the high pressure
line ~vent in when his meter was moved outside from inside. Mr. Tansor replied
that it is now high pressure if his meter has been moved outside.
Mr. Tansor explained that when he trains fire lighters, because of the different
types of material on a "service," when a gas leak occurs, there are different
classifications. When a leak is closer to the inside of a home and needs to be
stopped quickly, these arc specially made where they do it themselves. lie
teaches the fire fighters that if they need to stop a service leak before Nicor can
come, there are 3 different types of materials they have to deal with. They have to
understand the type of material it is. This service has static electricity that runs
around it, which means it is an ignition source. lie teaches them, without looking
in a hole, if they see an outside meter, they can locate the wire that sends the
signal so they can locate it. The Service is attached with clectro fusion. It is
fused, rather than welded. Inside the service T is specialized copper wire that
runs all around. There are 2 different types of fuses, but the fission box
recognizes exactly what it is. Once it is hooked up to a fusion box which is
basically a computer tied to a generator, it identifies the service T it is hooked up
to. When the operator presses the correct button it huts up the T for a specific
length of time to melt the electric coils inside but it can't be touched for about 30
minutes. He teaches the fire dept. that once it is cooled down, Nicor's R & V
people have pulled on it, will rip the medium density polyethylene (P.D.) before it
will come off. The electrical connections are finished with the same material as
what you use to install the T. They screw down at the joint and there is a half
inch metal plug that sits inside and pops a coupon into the pipe.

The new service can be installed without turning off the gas. Once it is heated up,
it is screwed down and turned on. They expect them to last about 100 years. With
the old system, gas Ieaks would occur in February or March because that is the
worst time for the system, and then the Fire Dept. and the gas company need to be
out there. Mr. Tansor gives the Fire Dept. general rules of thumb on how long it
takes to do a project based off a steel main under a street. For everyone but the
backhoe operator this works out well. If you hit it, it breaks, you repair it, that's
the end of it. Currently, Nicor does not use anything larger than 6 inches. They
don't run more than 60 lbs of pressure in them but the industry is doing more.
They are using high density polyethylene and running 1,000 psi of pressure. But
that is the industry throughout the nation. Europe has used plastic pipe much
longer than the United States. They use it for sewer, water and potable water.
They use plastic with a different type of resin for potable water. This is not a
brand new material. Nicor has used it since about 1990, but the industry has used
it longer. Mr. Grumman asked how deep the mains are buried. Mr. Tansor
replied that federal law requires a 30" minimum of depth. Typically in the street
theirs arc buried 3' to 4'. The lines running in start at about 18" at the main and
they shoot upwards to 12" at the house. Under the JULIE. law, any distance
underground needs to be protected. If they put it in and it hits a rock and goes up
about 8", it doesn't matter. It's in the ground. They have situations where
systems that were installed in the early 1950's are only 6" deep now: grading
changes, water washes away dirt. Nicor's pipes are yellow.
Mr. Smith asked how much involvement Nicor has in Evanston's 10-year plan.
Mr. Tansor replied that the two high rises proposed in downtown Evanston are to
be electric power, not gas. But Nicor «till have to move their mains because of the
footprint of the buildings. Nicor is well -prepared to meet Evanston's natural gas
needs. Evanston is more commercial than industrial.
The main artery runs from McCormick and Oak -ion in Skokie. There is more than
one distribution point. It is distributed up to Winnetka, the stopping point. The
natural gas comes from all over North America, including the Gulf of Mexico.
There are eight interstate pipeline companies. City hub (City Gate) delivery
stations measure and lower pressure, bringing it from 300-500 psi to 230-300 psi,
then drop it to 60 psi for local use. Approximately 3% of natural gas is lost in
transit. As part of the process. the plants gather and process the gas: like coal (it
is a fossil fuel), sulfur and water and methane gas are removed.
Nicor voluntarily produces a CO report and voluntarily does cleanup.
In further discussion, the following subjects were touched upon:
The new underground system will not be impacted by 100 year flooding.
Mr. Grumman mentioned Peoples Gas Company's fuel cell installations: Mr.
Tansor said they are successful but use natural gas to make the required hydrogen
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
January 11, 2008
Page 6
fuel. Ultimately you will want to make hydrogen by electrolysis of water, to get
away from using a fossil fuel.
Nicor buys gas throughout the year and injects it into water aquifers to store it.
The issue of the Fire Dept. waiting for Nicor to arrive in emergencies has been
alleviated because now Nicor has a 24-hour 3 man crew out of Bellwood that
responds to calls at any hour.
Nicor has direct communication with customers when they are converting to the
new system or doing any other large project. They knock on peoples' doors and
find ways to talk to them directly about the project.
Regarding location of the new outdoor meters on property, sometimes it does not
make sense to wrap the new system around a building since others would expect
the line to be in a straight line. They put them in front when the main is already
there. It is better to have them outside because it prevents having a gas fire within
a home if the home is on fire. Nicor does system checks every five years and can
now do them from outside.
Regarding alternative energy sources such as low-level geo-thermal and solar
power, Mr. Tansor said he appreciates the City's efforts to go green, they
encourage new technology, and that each type of energy has its pros and cons
(wind power is noisy, solar power involves large panels on roofs, etc.) He added
that due to advances in efficiency of gas furnaces and appliances, Nicor has to add
35,000 new customers per year to maintain its level of business.
Regarding natural gas -fueled vehicles, Mr. Tansor tried to market natural gas
vehicles for 10 years unsuccessfully. This effort ended about 6 or 7 years ago.
Perhaps it was the timing, or the fact that municipalities have to use American -
made vehicles, or in one case, the location of the fuel source (outside the
municipality). Ms. Collopy said the fleet is looking at more vehicles. Nicor's
fleets were fueled with natural gas. Maybe now that oil has gotten so expensive, it
would be easier to market.
The Commission thanked Mr. Tansor for his presentation.
IV. REVIEW OF RECENT RELIABILTY ISSUES
Mr. Marino reported that there were no major outages in the past month. There
were contacts by two residents regarding some unusually long outages in 2007.
Mr. Marino obtained a detailed report from our new representative at ComEd
regarding the outages. fie had concern about the duration of one of them. The
other was caused by the August storm. Mr. Marino raised some concerns about
the relation of tree trimming to outages caused by wind/tree damage. A report on
tree trimming will be requested.

Energy Commission Aieeting Notes
January 11, 2008
Page 7
Mr. Marino reported on the TRG meeting. The following was discussed at the
TRG meeting: patterns of underground failures; feeders, an inspection issue
report, preventative action, number of outages, and a mechanism for underground
issues. Mr. Siegfriedt suggested ComEd have a more proactive system for
fixing/preventing outages caused by underground cable. He asked for a
spreadsheet shoving cables on each feeder, and for each cable, the type of cable,
burial mode, year installed, and incident history. This will take a long time to
gather. ComEd can take a look at the cables every time they go into a manhole
and report to add to the spreadsheet. The cable installed in the 1970's is more
prone to failure than cable installed before and since. In one run from TSS 47 to
downtown, there are 7 segments of which 2 have been replaced. Nir. Siegfriedt
would like to see the other 5 done.
The correct depth to bury cable is 36", but there was an issue that it was only 18"
below ground in one case on McDaniel. Other items discussed at the 'IRG
meeting: ComEd reported that they expect to finish their summer -critical work by
the end of January, replacement of another transformer at the TSS 47 Emerson
substation. One transformer has already been changed from 20 MVA to 40
MVA. Another is to be changed from 20 NiVA to 40 MVA also. Also discussed
at the TRG meeting was the capacity of the district system feeder loading and
substation loading. ComEd was updated with new projects planned by the City
and the DowntoNvn Plan and Real Estate Project for the next 10 years. Mr.
Siegfriedt stated that capacity -wise Evanston is prepared for new development.
Regarding the City's renewable portfolio's standard issues, ComEd will connect
us with the correct people in the Chicago ComEd office whose area is legislative
responsibilities. Mr. Morse reported that there is a 5 year program to put in mid -
circuit reclosers, but not necessarily in Evanston. Mr. Wolfson had advocated for
this. Mr. Morse reported that the downtown network load is decreasing so there is
plenty of capacity. New developers prefer 480 volt systems as opposed to the
120/208 volt system.
V. ENERGY POLICY
Chair Freeman reported that the Administration and Public Works Committee
voted to accept the Energy Policy as proposed by the Energy Commission and as
reviewed and amended by the Environmental Board.
The Energy Commission is coordinating with Nls. Collopy in the implementation
of the Energy Policy.
Ms. Collopy, the City's Sustainable Programs Coordinator since May 2007,
introduced herself. She has been reviewing policies and procedures and she is
working with the community on a Climate Action Plan to decrease greenhouse
gas emissions. She has created a baseline for gas emissions and she is taking an
inventory of the City's greenhouse gas emissions. Nis. Collopy will discuss her
plans with the Energy Commission at the next meeting. She will also receive a
copy of the Energy Policy when it is published.

11. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF JANUARY 11, 2008*
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the January H, 2008 meeting
notes as amended.
III. REVIEW OF RECENT RELIABILITY ISSUES
Mr. Marino reported that there were two outages in Evanston: one on Emerson
Street just outside the substation on Tuesday, February 5th where a pole burned.
Mr. Marino said that John Halloran of Com Ed said that the outage occurred at
6:35p.m.on C-477 affecting about 500 customers. By midnight the affected
customers' electricity was restored. The cause is under investigation. Multiple
feeders were impacted by this outage: 2 directly by pole fire, 2 were de -energized
to prevent other problems.
The second outage IN4r. Marino reported was at the Mather/Georgian residence.
The apparent cause was an underground cable fault in a manhole. A second
transformer came back the same day, and the first transformer that was burned out
was back on the next day. The Georgian was evacuated by the City's Fire
Department. Com Ed helped in the process.
The recent storms were not a cause of any problems in Evanston, perhaps because
of the absence of high winds.
Mr. SiegGicdt mentioned a 25 minute outage that took place in northwest
Evanston that also included part of Wilmette.
A 6-month outage report is due from Com Ed the middle of next month.

IV. ENERGY POLICY
Chair Freeman thanked Carolyn Collopy for attending the Energy Commission
meeting.
Chair Freeman went through the items listed in the revised Energy Policy which
was adopted December 10, 2007. Chair Freeman invited Ms. Collopy to
collaborate with the Energy Commission in sorting out ways to implement the
Energy Policy and deciding in whose domain each of the aspects would be.
Mr. Grumman asked what the revisions to the Energy Policy were. Chair
Freeman replied that in 2002 the Energy Commission and the Environment Board
tried to collaborate on a modification of the 1995 Energy Policy but there was not
enough agreement at that point to propose any changes. Last year in an attempt to
revisit changing the Energy Policy several members of the Energy Commission
re -crafted the policy, making some of the language more emphatic in the
encouragement and promoting, rather than just considering, making the Energy
Commission's involvement more active. In Chair Freeman's memo to City
Council accompanying the revised draft, he introduced the following ideas:
acknowledging the importance of energy's impact on the earth's natural resources
and environment; more specificity regarding reliability of the City's energy
distribution system; a more active role for the City in promoting energy
conservation, energy efficiency and associated environmental benefits;
considering energy alternatives; specific cooperative action between the City and
other large energy users; and a more prominent role in monitoring new energy
laws and disseminating pertinent energy information to the community.
The Commission discussed items 1 through 6 of the revised Energy Policy:
1. Upgrading of distribution systems to assure reliable distribution: The
Commission agreed that this has been their role in electricity and it will not
change, and that it should hold as well for gas. Regarding gas distribution and
reliability, there are issues with the old cast iron system that is still in place,
Nicor's response time to emergencies and water intrusion into the low
pressure system. The Commission discussed the differences in the issues of
electricity versus gas distribution
2. The City's role in managing energy conservation within its own buildings,
vehicles and energy -using units: The Commission discussed the progress the
City has made and the Commission's role in that and future progress: Mr.
Siegfriedt said regarding natural gas vehicles, we are down to just one this
year since the Dodge Van and Crown Victoria have gone out of production.
The Honda Civic is the only CNG vehicle available now. Chair Freeman
listed the Silver Level LEED Building for Fire Station #5 and the City's new
energy use tracking program as progress in this role. Mr. Marino mentioned
the Downtown Plan's recommendation of bonuses for LEED-certified
buildings, and that the City's single family re-hab program finances many
energy -conserving heating, storm windows and insulation components. This

program is funded by the federal Community Development Block Grant
through the Planning Division. Ms. Colllopy added that the Dept. of
Commence and Economic Opportunity recently submitted for approval to the
ICC a plan for programs to spend Com Ed energy efficiency money through
the legislation that recently passed. There %vill be a portion for municipalities
to do energy efficiency upgrades. That is supposed to be approved on
February 15a', 2008. The state will issue an RFA. She and Dave Cook of the
Facilities Management Dept. have been talking to someone from the
Metropolitan Mayors' Caucus (MMC) who has been one of the key
stakeholders in the planning of their programs. These programs will cover
upgrades to lighting, water pumping, water treatment facilities, and a retro-
conditioning program. The MMC asked if Evanston would be interested in
being a model for either the water pumping efficiency upgrades or to offer a
building to be a model for the retro-conditioning (assessing all your energy
systems and bringing them up to a more efficient level). She will continue to
communicate with her contact at the MNiC. The proposal will also sponsor
programs to improve street lighting, signals and parking lighting. Ms.
CoIlopy and Mr. Cook are also working with the Parks, Public Works and
Transportation Departments regarding applying for grants for these programs.
Ms. Collopy said the Energy Commission could contribute by adding their
support regarding these programs. The Commission agreed that it would be
good for Dave Stoneback of the Water Department to meet with the Energy
Commission to discuss the grants once they are articulated. Ms. CoIlopy will
keep the Energy Commission updated. Nis. Collopy said she is working with
Mr. Cook on applying for a grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Foundation
for their program for public safety lighting upgrades for fire departments, fire
stations and police departments. They %vill include a request for funds for
solar hot water panels for the fire station, per the request of Julia Carroll. Ms.
CoIlopy is also in contact with the Citizens' Utility Board, who is part of the
Northern Illinois Energy Project with the City of Chicago and Cook County.
They have a quantity of money they are using for energy efficiency projects.
They are %villing to look at proposals for cost -sharing programs. Dave Kolata,
Executive Director of CUB, has approached Nis. Collopy about a couple of
program ideas, one of which is a program to finance solar panels at the
residential Ievel through issuing bonds and adding the cost to taxes. The City
just signed the Greenest Region contract which is going to give us access to
10,000 compact fluorescent bulbs to distribute to residents. There arc 500,000
available for all the suburbs. There will be one bulb for every 7 residents if all
of the suburbs sign on, but not all the suburbs have signed on.
Ms. Collopy has met with the head of Evanston's Fleet Services Department
who informed her that we use B20 fuel in all of our diesel engines. Fleet
Services is planning on buying a couple of hybrid cars this year. Approval
has passed to buy a hybrid SUV, however the purchase is on hold because of
availability. The head of fleet used to work for People's Gas. We have two
vehicles that are running off natural gas. He is also trying to reduce the
number of vehicles in our fleet.

Ms. Collopy added that 20% of the electricity that we currently get through
Constellation is paid for with renewable energy credits. Mr. Mereu asked
what Ms. Collopy needs to take her efforts to the next level. She replied that
she is still working on getting funding, that there is a lot of work to do and
there are many possibilities. Since she has been here, she has had the vending
machine contractor put energy misers on all of our vending machines which
reduce our energy use by about 40% by regulating their refrigeration level and
lights. She has also worked with I.S. to put computer monitors on low power
mode after 10 minutes of inactivity so they are using 50% less power.
Mr. Siegfriedt asked whether the grants Ms. Collopy is exploring will cover
street lights. She replied that she will be talking to the head of transportation
to see if we have any opportunities for funding for improving street lighting.
She has been working with one of our traffic engineers. They have upgraded
our Tallmadge strectlights to high induction lamps which are Iower wattage
but the same intensity. There are 4,000 lamps. She is working with Com Ed
and our transportation engineer to get the changes into the system so we can
get credit for the savings. Corn Ed will credit us back to 2004. Ms. Collopy
will find out what the wattage reduction is from the old mercury to the new
induction through the process of updating the documentation system.
Currently, the City documents street light usage differently from the way Corn
Ed does.
Ms. Collopy is working on documenting her progress, in relation to
quantifying energy savings/ manpower hours/impact.
I Evaluate energy supply alternatives, assuring competitive and reliable service:
The City has started a CFL recycling program, funded by SWANCC, with
collection points at the Civic Center (all fluorescents) and the Ecology Center
(just CFL).
The Energy Commission could provide technical consultation and expertise
and innovation advocacy.
4. Evaluate merits of cooperation with other large users to achieve competitive
pricing: This is mainly the role of the Lega]fPurchasing Depts. The
Commission discussed heating and cooling alternatives for municipal
buildings and plans to meet with staff of other departments who deal with
building sites to share ideas and information. Mr. Grumman informed Ms.
Collopy of the Advanced Energy Design Guides published by ASHRAE and
available online. Nis. Newman will download and send to Ms. Collopy.
5. Monitor and influence changes in federal and state energy laws: Ms. Collopy
and Ms. Haas are tracking legislation in process; City Council may pass
resolutions endorsing particular approaches: Evanston has influential state
legislators in our district; the appropriate process would be that the Energy
Commission makes recommendations to the Administration & Public Works
Committee.
6. Keeping citizens informed: Energy Commission's role: The Energy
Commission discussed ways to disseminate information: Highlights,
Energy Commission Meeting Notes Page S
February 8, 2008
published by Donna Stuckert of the City of Evanston, the City's website and
the Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Collopy asked for suggestions on informing the appropriate people that
the City is going to be hosting the Building Operator's Certification training
starting in March of 2008. She has informed the Chamber of Commerce and
she has told the coordinator at the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance about
contacting Evmark and some other places. Mr. Marino suggested Ms.
Collopy contact the Building Division staff and license grantors to distribute
information, Donna Spicuzza, the Housing Planner for a list of Evanston
condo associations and Stan Janusz of the Property Standards Dept. for
contact information. The City needs 30 people to sign up for the class. The
course is $1,100 for 9 classes, one day per month. Chair Freeman said that
Aid. Rainey asked that the Energy Commission keep in touch with Ms.
Collopy. Ms. Collopy replied that she plans to attend the Energy Commission
meetings regularly.
V. COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Marino presented an announcement in The Nation's Cities Feb. 2008 issue,
by the U.S. Conference of Mayors regarding the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant Program. They are still trying to get final
appropriations for the program. The City may be eligible for a part of this grant
since we rare a recipient of Community Development Block Grant funds.
VI. COMMITTEE REPORTS
Chair Freeman suggested discussing the organization of the Commission's
committee composition at the next Energy Commission meeting.

EVANSTON ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING
MEETING NOTES
Friday, illarch 14, 2008
Civic Center, Room 2404 at 7.15 A.hL
MEMBERS PRESENT: David Grumman, Stefano Mereu,
William Siegfriedt, Paul Morse
STAFF PRESENT: Carolyn Collopy, Bobbie Newman
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Joel Freeman, Chair
I. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freeman called the meeting to order at 7:19 a.m., a quorum being present,
II. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF FEBRUARY 8, 2008*
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the February 8, 2008 meeting
notes, with minor corrections as discussed.
III. REVIEW OF RECENT RELIABILITY ISSUES
The Commission discussed the Cam Ed outage report for the period 8/l/2007-
12/31/2007. The report sorted by date shows that during the storm activity from
August 23rd to 27th only one outage was caused by equipment at a substation.
All other outages were weather -related. Chair Freeman noted that most outages
of overhead equipment failures are caused by a malfunction of a transformer or
overhead material. He assumes "overhead material" is cable wire. On
underground equipment related failures. they are scattered about. Tree -related
outages usually refer to a broken limb. Weather relates to lightening, tornado, etc.
The data for these reports is entered by Com Ed technicians who go into the field.
This is a 5-month data report. Mr. Siegfriedt noted that the circuit sort index
showed Substation 47 circuits as a major source of outages. Chair Freeman added
that on December 23, 2007, Circuit 4713 had 700 customers out for almost 10
hours due to an underground equipment malfunction. Mr. Siegfriedt said that this
is related to the underground cable issue. Mr. Siegfriedt has attempted to discuss
having Com Ed provide the City with a spreadsheet listing all of the underground
cable, how many segments of underground cable there are, when it was installed,
what material, and what type of insulation was used. He said the insulation used
in the 1970's isn't as durable as the older insulation. There are splicers' marks on
the cable showing who last worked on the cable, so the data can be collected over
time. They could gather the data as workers work on the cable. They would
record all the information available in a manhole when the manhole is next
opened. This database will eventually show whether the cable that is buried is
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
March 14, 2008
Page 2
cross -linked polyethylene, direct buried, or in duct banks, and which cable should
be watched. Any cable buried directly in the ground will deteriorate faster. Chair
Freeman suggested asking Com Ed to just report on Substation 47 cable, at first
request. Mr. Siegfriedt said it will take a long time to gather complete citywide
cable data, so we should begin trying to get it all as soon as possible, rather than
just asking for one circuit, adding that it would also be beneficial to Com Ed to
gather this data. Mr. Siegfriedt said that we are doing Nicor's pipe change -outs
before the street is replaced in some areas and some of Com Ed's buried cables
run down the same streets. They may be buried in concrete ducts so you can
change the cable without tearing the street up, but it would be good to rebuild the
street knowing that the cable under it will not have to be dug up.
Mr. Grumman asked for a comparison of the total indexes over history. Ms.
Newman will produce a spreadsheet with indexes of past reports at the next
Energy Commission meeting. The Commission members will address the ten
worst performing circuits in relation to the issue of cable data. The trouble on
these circuits has diminished over the years, so the trend is in the right direction.
They will focus on the underground cable as a possible place to start recording
cable data. Mr. Siegfriedt said the general consensus is that if cable was
underground there would be fewer problems. He feels that it is important to
replace the cable laid in the 1970's as soon as possible.
Mr. Mereu noticed that the report shows no evidence of switching back from
temporary switching. Mr. Siegfriedt agreed, citing Circuit 438, where on October
19, 2007 there was temporary switching and later "closed substation breakage."
The report only shows switches related to outages, to the repair orders. Mr.
Siegfriedt said that Circuit 4713 has 7 lengths of cable, of which 2 have been
replaced on an emergency basis. He added that this is a good reason for Com Ed
to look into replacing all of the cable on Circuit 4713. In a manhole, a Com Ed
technician can tell what type of insulation is covering a cable and when a splice
was made. If the cross -linked polyethylene insulation fails or if the cable is in
standing water, the cable between manholes can fail. Chair Freeman said Mr.
Marino will talk to a Com Ed representative about this circuit.
The Commission members agreed to reiterate their request for cable data
collection, specifically. the underground cable locations, with a starting point of
Circuits coming out of Substation 47, where there is more trouble, at the next
TRG meeting. It is the biggest and oldest substation. Com Ed asked that we give
them our questions ahead of time. Mr. Siegfriedt said it would be wonderful if just
for this year, we got a list of all the underground segments on every circuit. This
could be done from the Com Ed office. Mr. Marino will let the Com Ed
representative know of the request before the meeting. Ms. Newman will get the
averages of the indexes of past Com Ed outage reports to compare for the next
meeting.

IV. ENERGY POLICY
Chair Freeman asked for suggestions for things people would like to focus on that
they think are pertinent, to re -construct the committees of the Energy
Commission.
Arlene Haas has historically done the related government policy and legislative
updates.
Chair Freeman said he would like Mr. Mereu to continue researching Energy
Commissions in other cities.
Chair Freeman suggested that some of the items in the Energy Policy are a
potential place for focus. The Energy Commission could take the lead on certain
pieces of the Energy Policy. Committees within the Energy Commission could
specifically address those pieces. The Office of Sustainability is addressing many
of the issues. Mr. Grumman said that Commissions are different from the City's
Departments however, because they are composed of citizens and the
Commission's role should be to monitor the entities implementing policies. For
example, even though we communicate with Com Ed on a regular basis, we need
to know what legislative issues Com Ed is facing in order to have an informed
discussion with them. Chair Freeman suggested that many of the franchise
discussions get too compressed because of the time frame in which we start
addressing them. Having the franchise issues on the back burner all year would
help alleviate the time crunch. Mr. Siegfriedt added that some say it's the primary
purpose for a commission. Mr. Grumman suggested devising a strategy for
planning for the franchise discussions. The Energy Commission grew out of the
electrical problem that existed in the 1980's. There was a group before that which
addressed that issue. Then the Energy Commission was formed, which is made
up primarily of people with technical background.
Chair Freeman said a franchise issue that has been inadequately addressed is
municipal compensation. lie believes it is worthy of additional exploration with
Com Ed. We have been easy to dismiss it because it would become an expense to
the City so we shouldn't be talking about it. The city is paying for electricity in
2/3 of its buildings. There is an infrastructure maintenance fee option as an
alternative method to the franchise fee that is set up currently. Chair Freeman
believes this is worthy of exploration. The City gets a direct payment, but also has
direct utility bills. The presumption is that people want to make that revenue
neutral so that it isn't an additional burden on the City. Doing that kind of
accounting allows for other things to happen in City buildings. This is the way
Chicago does it. They are the only ones that have an infrastructure maintenance
fee that is charged per kilowatt hour. Mr. Siegfriedt added that the current
franchise agreement states that Com Ed has to explore ways to get us 20%
renewable energy in the free electricity. Nothing has happened yet but if we
shifted that over to Constellation, they are already giving us 20% renewable. That
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
March 14, 2008
Page 4
would solve that issue. Chair Freeman said that if the City has a financial stake in
the cost of electricity they're consuming, then they can take measures to reduce it.
That is likely to be totally independent of the revenue stream. The revenue stream
is there, and now you are reducing your cost by taking some actions. 8 or 9 years
ago when the south loop shut down twice in a couple of years, Mayor Daley
negotiated with Com Ed to build anew substation. It was monitored every month
by the City of Chicago and Cam Ed after that. Chair Freeman said this is an
example of something to explore for the franchise before we get to the deadline.
Since reliability issues have come to a manageable level, the Energy Commission
is allowed the time to focus on other things.
Chair Freeman continued the discussion in relation to the Energy Policy item: The
City of Evanston may make substantial efforts to assure its citizens are informed.
The Energy Commission can take on the role of dispensing information to Donna
Stuckert, who distributes newsletters, etc. to inform the citizens. Mr. Siegfriedt
said that we are the most reliable municipality in the Northbrook district, per Com
Ed, and the Energy Commission has not publicized that. Chair Freeman said that
if the comparable index report turns out favorable, we will have something
positive to report.
In a discussion of specific information for the Energy Commission to disseminate,
Mr. Siegfiedt suggested announcing that the City is now buying 20% renewable
energy and give instructions on how consumers can buy 20% renewable energy
too. Chair Freeman asked for volunteers for a committee to focus on that. Mr.
Morse suggested calling it the Public Information Committee. Mr. Morse said he
would like to retain the committee on governmental policy because there is a lot
going on and Ms. Haas's reports have been valuable.
Mr. Morse said that the Franchise Committee of the Energy Commission focusing
on compensation vs. electricity is a big topic. He has been through three
negotiations and every time anything groundbreaking is suggested, they are
cautioned that they are subject to the Northwest Municipal Conference and vice
versa. Mr. Freeman said there seems to have been a little bit more flexibility
being considered in the last TRG meeting. Compensation is one of the Com Ed
riders so it is defined in two ways and we have been doing it one way. The
franchise negotiations of late have been getting statements of intent but no real
commitment. Mr. Morse said that the franchise agreement has just been tweaked
every three years. Chair Freeman said there is nothing wrong with that as long as
we haven't overlooked something more substantial that could have an effect. If
some of these other avenues turn out to be dead ends or hurdles that are too high,
we can stop exploring them, but we haven't begun to see what they involve yet.
Chair Freeman said there are some things that the Energy Commission is not
involved in, such as energy supply. Dave Cook takes care of that. Mr. Grumman
said citizens should be monitoring this. The Commission discussed Item 42 of the
Energy Policy to promote and support energy conservation and environmental
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
March 14, 2008

protection: The City has recently formed an Energy Climate Action Committee,
Mr. Grumman asked what the Energy Commission's role is in relation to the
Climate Action Committee. Chair Freeman agreed that the Energy Commission
should have a role with it, adding that as it develops and defines itself,
implementation will be defined and the role of the Energy Commission will be
clarified. That doesn't exclude other things that could be in Item #2 of the Energy
Policy. Chair Freeman asked for volunteers for an Energy Conservation
Committee. Mr. Siegfriedt said it is difficult to coach, promote and encourage the
public since the Commission doesn't have ultimate control/authority over what
they do. He believes it asks people to swim against the current by asking people
to do things the harder rather than the easier way. Perhaps our role is to facilitate
connecting the public with those organizations that do coax, to bring awareness of
them. It is amazing how many people don't know how to "swim upstream" or
how to buy 20% renewable energy. Mr. Grumman said another area where
information needs to be distributed is regarding real time pricing, and the criteria
for whether it is profitable for a citizen to buy it.
Mr. Mereu asked Ms. Collopy for her comments on the discussion. She replied
that the support of the Energy Commission is very helpful to her, saying the more
places where infonmation comes from, the better it is able to inform the citizens.
Chair Freeman opened the discussion to the issues of the future, when there might
be a carbon tax or a federal gasoline tax. Even though Evanston won't have much
say, it will have a big impact and the question is whether there is any role the
Energy Commission can play to brace people for this. Mr. Siegfriedt said that
Evanstonions are better prepared for these things than 95% of the American
population. We have mass transit and probably more Toyota Prius's per capita
than any other city in the country. We have people that focus on fluorescent
lights and things that make us better prepared than most. The real issue is will we
get credit for how good we've been for all these years, or will they take where we
are now as a baseline and say we have to make as big an improvement as
everybody else from that point fonvard. The other guy will be changing from a
large SUV to a more reasonable sized vehicle, and the guy who is already driving
a Prius, what will he be asked to do? We should watch for a carbon tax and make
sure that it is equitable. Mr. Grumman said Mr. Larry Lohmann was in town last
week. He was interviewed on Chicago Public Radio. I -le talked about carbon
trading and the way it was very poorly handled in Europe. Carbon credits were
given to big polluters. Mr. Siegfriedt said regarding the CO2 allowances the day
before, that they were trading for 21 Euros and in Chicago Climate Exchange they
were trading for 51.50. In the U.S. it is optional. The COz issue is global and we
need to get China and India involved in the program.
Chair Freeman concluded that the Commission decided to keep the Government
Policy and Legislative Committee which involves Ilene Haas, some form of a
Franchise Agreement Committee for which Bill Siegfriedt and Mr. Morse
volunteered, a Public Information Committee for which Mr. Morse volunteered,
Energy Commission Meeting Notes Page 6
March 14, 2008
and the Commission is still deciding about an Environment Committee. Mr.
Siegfriedt said Item #2 of the Energy Policy «-as listed as one of the first goals of
the Energy Commission, and that the Commission, as part of its basic role, must
have an Environmental Committee to fulfill its purpose. This committee will be
discussed at the next meeting.

MEMBERS PRESENT: David Grumman, Stefano Mereu,
William Siegfriedt
STAFF PRESENT: Carolyn Collopy, Dennis Marino, Bobbie Newman
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Joel Freeman, Chair
1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freeman called the meeting to order at 7:19 a.m., a quorum being present.
II. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF MARCH 14, 2008"
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the March 14, 2008 meeting
notes, with minor corrections as discussed.
Chair Freeman acknowledged the passing of former Energy Commission member
Mr. Rudy Wolfson, and thanked him for his service to the Energy Commission.
The Commission members agreed that Mr. Wolfson was a great asset to the
Commission and a knowledgeable and kind person. Mr. Grumman suggested Mr.
Wolfson be recognized by the Alderman of his ward at a City Council meeting.
Ill, REVIEW OF RECENT RELIABILITY ISSUES
The Commission reviewed the report prepared by Bobbie Newman, of average
indexes taken from the Com Ed Outage Reports from 1998 through 2007. Mr.
Marino commented that the trend line previous to 2000 indicates stability from
2001 through 2006. with the exception of 2004. A discussion ensued as to
whether the bad years were caused by weather. The commission members
observed that aside from the storm years, there has been good progress in
reliability. Mr. Marino noted that in 1998 (a high index year), there was
excessive heat. In discussion of the franchise agreement in relation to the index
report, he said we have had the current franchise agreement Nvith Com Ed with
extensions, since before 1998. The long tens franchise agreement expired in
1993 and there were a couple of one year extensions. Data requirements might
have been different in the beginning of the current agreement. The Commission
members discussed the cost of prevention versus the frequency of expensive/
troublesome years (years with excessive heat or storms), and how to address this
issue in relation to the troublesome circuits and perhaps troublesome routes of
cable through trees: maybe they should be re-routed if they are causing too many
problems. An index sort by circuit for each year could help determine which
circuits are causing the most problems. The members will develop questions for
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
April 1 l . 2008
Page 2
Com Ed at the May 9 h Energy Commission meeting and have the TRG meeting
in June.
Chair Freeman asked if anyone has any contact with Engineering Departments of
universities where we might obtain an intern. Mr. Marino suggested an intern
interested in electrical issues, though he and Ms. Newman are happy to do the
reports about the outage data. Chair Freeman said they have electric -related
interns at his office. Mr. Marino said most of the Planning Division's interns are
Planning students and sometimes Northwestern University work study students.
Bobbie Newman will prepare a report sorting the outage data by circuits with
subtotals of outages and weather -related outages for each of the 5 most
troublesome circuits.
Mr. Siegfriedt suggested that next time we have a Corn Ed representative who
works in the field at a TRG meeting, we request a description of how they
determine the cause of an outage, the difference between a storm and a tree cause,
and whether there is a classification protocol. Mr. Siegfriedt noted that often
there is follow-up that is reported at their discretion, re -doing the switching they
had to do during the storm, so the second phase never gets treated as directly
related to the storm, and it is just called discretionary. The Commission concluded
that some of the discretionary items in the report are actually the result of a prior
storm where repairs had been made. Chair Freeman asked Mr. Marino to note
that at the next TRG meeting we ask Com Ed to focus on gathering data about
Substation 47's circuits and underground cable locations. Mr. Siegfriedt
reiterated his desire for Com Ed to begin collecting data from all
manholes/circuits. After a discussion, the Commission members agreed to begin
with a request for data on Substation 47 to capture some of the worst cable data.
The next report from Com Ed is the bi-annual periodic report of projects, etc., that
is useful, but it does not include a detailed outage report.
IV. COMMITTEE REPORTS
Chair Freeman suggested establishing new concepts for committees as discussed
at the last meeting. So far the Commission has discussed: a Public Information
Committee including; Paul ,'Morse and Stefano Mereu; a Franchise Agreement
Committee including; Paul Morse and Bill Siegfriedt; Government Policy and
Legislative Committee including Arlene Haas.
Regarding; legislation, Mr. Siegfriedt informed the Commission that there may be
new legislation passed soon that will allow and possibly fund the expansion of
some nuclear plants. Decommissioning a nuclear plant involves disposing of a
great deal of radioactive material. Radioactive material will be less reactive in 25
years' time, so the tendency is to wait.

V. FRANCHISE AGREEMEW
Chair Freeman distributed a list of all Com Ed's franchise percentage rates shown
on our electric service bills for each of the municipalities Com Ed serves; all of
Com Ed's rates are available on their website. There is a significant disparity
behveen the cities. Chicago is not on the list because they have an infrastructure
maintenance fee instead of a franchise fee.
Chair Freeman distributed a list of riders:
Rider FCA, Franchise Cost Additions: This is where Chicago is quickly
identified. It is the only one on this list for infrastructure maintenance fee. This
fee is based on kilowatt hours of electric energy delivered in a billing month. The
information identifies how the franchise cost is calculated and what the
components are. Evanston customers pay 2.855%. The basis of the percentage is:
the free electricity divided by the value of the electricity delivered to the
community. The Commission members surmised that those with a high
percentage rate appear to have many facilities in relation to the amount of
customers.
Rider Tax calculation basis: This is how the communities calculate their
municipal utility tax for electricity. These are based, similarly to the infrastructure
maintenance fee, on the amount of kilowatt hours used. Revised Sheet #480
showed Evanston's rate. The infrastructure maintenance fee table for Chicago
compared to Evanston's Rider Tax is similar, as a municipal tax addition. Chair
Freeman used this comparison to show that if we were to go from a franchise fee
to an infrastructure maintenance fee, and if the values were the same as Chicago,
we would be on a similar scale of utility bill impact as the municipal tax. The
income stream and the impact on the user are similar values. Chair Freeman
explained that if the municipal tax is roughly at 5%, it would be roughly the
equivalent of the infrastructure maintenance fee if we were to convert to an
infrastructure maintenance fee. The revenue stream to the City would increase,
but there would be an added expense_
This was discussed briefly with Com Ed at the last franchise negotiation meeting.
The data provided on the Cam Ed website was based on the last 1.5 years. On the
website there is a recent update category that shows a recent update to the
franchise cost to one of the communities.
V1. ENERGY POLICY
In discussion at an earlier Energy Commission meeting, the Commission had
decided to focus on the energy conservation and environmental components of the
Energy Policy. Chair Freeman distributed a press release from Com Ed's websitc
regarding the program that is coming up pertaining to Rider EDA, published a
month ago, which is the rider for energy efficiency and demand response
adjustment. The news release was designed primarily for commercial/industrial
Energy Commission Mecting Notes Page 4
April 11, 2008
customers. There is a residential component to this program which he believes
will be rolled out in June of 2008.
Rider EDA provides two major categories of incentives: prescriptive, which lists
some of the obvious things that can be done for energy improvement; and custom,
which lists the things that involve a little more background analysis and
documentation. It is Chair Freeman's understanding that Corn Ed's portion of
this program is going to be administered by a party other than Com Ed. The
decision has not been made yet. The Dept. of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity will administer incentives for units of government, low income
households and schools.
Chair Freeman opened the discussion of what the Energy Commission's role will
be in addition to the public information component. He asked how the Energy
Commission sees itself fitting into this. Mr. Grumman asked how many potential
beneficiaries of this know about it. Ms. Collopy said Com Ed is putting
announcements in with commercial customers' bills in June. Ms. Collopy is
planning on getting the word out to businesses as well as residents. She said it
will be a big resource and will get bigger every year. Mr. Marino added that the
Chamber of Commerce and the City's Highlights are good resources for getting
the word out to businesses. Chair Freeman suggested the Public Information
Committee of the Energy Commission contribute to disseminating information.
Ms. Collopy commented that the more repetition to the public, the better. The
details of the program have not yet been defined. Mr. Sicgfricdt expressed
concern that smaller businesses may not have someone who can take the time to
research the program. Ms. Collopy said she heard from the state that they are
modeling these programs very closely after how Xcel in Minnesota has done their
program: There is a checklist: if you replace X amount ofT-12's with Y amount
of T-8's, this is how much your rebate is, and so on for each component of the
prescriptive program. They are trying to coordinate with Com Ed so the programs
have the same incentive amounts and this is what is delaying getting the details
out. She has been advised by the State to look at Xcel's programs. Mr. Sicgfricdt
said he did a project for Xcel and they have a good perspective on innovation and
the environment.
Chair Freeman suggested the Public Information Committee send a letter to the
editor of local newspapers and sends a notice to local merchant associations to
begin making people and business owners aware of the program. NIs. ColIopy
said Com Ed will put something in residential customers' bills also. Once the
application mechanism, the criteria for eligibility and the level of incentive are
out, people will be apt to participate. It will be first conic, first serve. Ms.
Collopy said that with the solar rebate program, they continue to take applications
and those who missed out on the current years' funds will be next in line when
funds are replenished. There is no cutoff date for applying.

Mr. Mereu suggested discussing how to disseminate information about the
program at the next Energy Commission meeting. Chair Freeman suggested he
compose a three sentence letter to the editor, from the Energy Commission, to
send the Round Table and the Evanston Review, adding that this is a significant
program and there will be a new line item on our electric bills related to it.
He asked whether anyone envisions other ways the Commission can contribute to
our Energy Policy, related to energy conservation.
Mr. Grumman suggested something that looks at the long term view, things that
are coming along and how they will affect Evanston, such as carbon cap and trade
and how that will impact Evanston. Mr. Sicgfriedt asked whether it is going to be
applied in our gas bills. Mr. Grumman said yes, but how will it affect our gas
bills? You think of cap and trade as being big companies: some generate more
carbon than others and they sell credits to others. That impacts the individual
through the products we buy. If there is a tax on diesel fuel, all the trucks that
make deliveries to the stores will be indirectly affected. Mr. Sicgfriedt pointed
out that we can't control that, but we can do something about the gas we are
getting from Nicor. Chair Freeman agreed that the impact will be in the price of
goods and services, as truck drivers arc already complaining that they cannot
make money with the current price of gas. Chair Freeman asked Mr. Grumman
whether he thinks we should warn the public. Mr. Grumman believes it is better
to be warned. Chair Freeman cited the electric energy auctions as an example of
people being warned that everything would be different, and at the end of the 10-
year rate freeze, everyone said, "Why is it so different?" The idea is to get people
to do something about it, such as get rid of an SUV, etc. There has been some
debate about how to let people know about global warming without making them
shut down from a big "sky is falling' scare tactic. How do you encourage people
to do things along those lines? There seems to be a certain resistance or the
attitude of "well there's no hope, so I'm not going to do anything' if people get
too fearful of their future.
Chair Freeman asked that the next Energy Commission meeting agenda is listed
as:

Mr. Grumman reminded the Commission of the new ASHRAE publication, High
Performing Buildings, for which he serves on the editorial board. It is available
free in hard copy and on the web at HBPhtagazine.org/subscribe. There are 2
city halls in the current issue, including a renovation of the one in Cambridge,
MA. Seattle's City Hall was also written up in the magazine. He emailed this
issue to commission members. Each issue also covers certain specialized aspects
of high performing buildings, such as daylighting in the current issue. There is a
very elaborate, interesting explanation with diagrams about water re -use in one of
the projects covered in the current issue. The publication comes out 4 times a
year. ASHRAE is Iooking for some older (3 — 5 yr.) buildings about which to do
articles in future issues on energy use and other actual performance aspects.
Mr. Marino updated the Commission about the news that a contractor hit a gas
line this week on the north side of the right of way across from where Belmont
Steel used to be, while putting in the foundation for the traffic lights to be
installed there. There was a high pressure line with a couple load feeds off of it.
The contractor said it wasn't marked. According to the Fire Chief, response time
from Nicor was within 30 minutes to solve the problem, and within an hour there
was a construction crew there. The work went on all day, but the initial response
time was an improvement. The Fire Department sent out a release to the City to
tell people to close windows and take precautions. There has been an issue with
the marking of underground utilities.

William Siegfriedt, Michael Smith
STAFF PRESENT: Dennis Marino, Bobbie Newman
CITIZENS PRESENT: Mary Gavin, Evanston Round Table
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Joel Freeman, Chair
I. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freeman called the meeting to order at 7:17 a.m., a quorum being present.
II. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF APRIL 11, 2008*
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the April 11, 2008 meeting notes
with minor corrections, as discussed.
III. COI%IMITTEE REPORTS
A. Governmental Policy and Legislative/Regulatory Actions
Ms. Haas reported that the Governor of Illinois has appointed an
Executive Director, Mark Pruitt, for the Illinois Power Agency. The
Commission discussed Deerfield's law suit against Com Ed and the fact
that they do not have an Energy Commission. Their only agreement with
Com Ed is the Northwest Municipal Franchise agreement, which has a 25-
35 year term. Ms. Haas suggested that Patrick Giordano, an Evanston
energy lawyer, could do a great job of representing Deerfield. He is
familiar with the regulatory structure. Deerfield hasn't experienced
anything unusual to the area, excepting Evanston, wlicre reliability is
improved compared to most other communities.
B. Distribution Systems Franchise .-agreements
Mr. Marino will try to schedule a meeting of the Technical Review Group
(TRG) with Com Ed directly after the June 13, 2008 Energy Commission
meeting. Mr. Grumman commented that in the charts distributed with
electric bills, the percentage of nuclear power has diminished from 90% to
46%. The gap is being filled by "other sources." Mr. Siegfricdt suggested
that nuclear units need to be refueled every 3 years, so if a number of units
Arc represented as re -fueling in that quarter, it would leave a large gap.
Chair Freeman agreed that it is an accounting procedure. The TRG
Energy Commission Meeting Votes
May 9.2t08
Page 2
members will ask Com Ed about this at the next meeting with Com Ed
(June 13, 2008).
The Commission discussed whether Com Ed is able to track the ways we
arc directly benefiting from the CO. free energy paid for by Evanston
electric customers. Chair Freeman said that Dave Cook asked him how to
identify savings to the public through an energy conservation project and
whether it could be documented. The Commission discussed ways of
calculating this; commercial vs. residential, and whether there is a
significant savings in relation to the franchise.
C. Public Inrormation
Mr. Mcrcu will send Chair Freeman a draft of an announcement of the
Com Ed Energy Conservation Grant program next week, for his review.
IV. REVIEW OF RELIABILITY ISSUES
A. Com Ed Periodic (Bi-annual) Report
The Commission discussed the Com Ed bi-annual report: Mr. Marino
explained the report data: page 3 bar graphs compare causes of
intcmtptions to duration and number of interruptions. (The report is
generated bi-annually but the data is for various time periods. The official
6-month report issued by Cam Ed is an outage report). This report gives
baseline information from which the TRG develops questions to ask at
periodic meetings with Com Ed. On page 3 the bar graph shows the
number of interruptions by cause for 2006 and for 2007. Trees are the
main cause. Underground failures: 24 in 2006 and 23 in 2007. Page 4
shows an increase in underground failures in 2008. The TRG will focus
on the issue of underground failures in the next meeting with Com Ed.
The aggregate data shows that storms will cause outages to rise. Chair
Freeman noted that the data shows that Evanston is lower in non -storm
outages compared with the whole Skokie Techily area. 41r. Marino noted
that page 8 shows the tree -trimming schedule and which feeders are
scheduled for cyclical inspections in 2008. The TRG will ask what a
cyclical inspection entails, what the criteria is for a circuit to be scheduled
for a cyclical inspection and whether it is systematic. Nlr. \larino noted
that on page 9. Project 5. summer critical work is listed for the first time.
Page 16, Project G. Projected Feeder Loading shows loading for feeders
for what is projected to be the hottest period during the season. The
circuits on this list appear to determine the summer -critical work list. This
list will be discussed at the TRG meeting. Mr. Marino noted on page 10,
Project 7: a meeting on December 7, 2007 at which Planning Staff asked
for a projection about future development projects; Project 8: Substation
Capacity Report (added a couple of years ago) detail showing substation
switching; Page 13 and subsequent pages show outage data through March
31, 2008 (the same data provided in outage reports); page 18 shows a
schedule of routine inspection and tree trimming. This is done normally
when trees are bare. Chair Freeman commented that the report only
Energy Commission :hefting Notes
May 9, 2008
Page 3
identities 2 overhead circuits. The Commission discussed the report data
and the improvement of the report.
B. Scheduling of next Technical Review Group Meeting
Mr. Marino will try to schedule the next TRG meeting directly after the
next Energy Commission meeting on June 13, 2008 at 8:30 am. He will
have Dave Metz review the report and try to have him attend the TRG
meeting.
C. Issues for discussion with Com Ed (Cont Ed requested that questions are
submitted in advance)
Accounting of environmental disclosure statement (source of power)
Underground failure increase
Clarification of cyclical inspections
Classification of outages
Switching between substations
Request for underground cable inventory data
Tree trimming
Rise in number of interruptions
C. Nicor Issues
No Nicor issues were discussed.

MEMBERS PRESENT: David Grumman, Paul Morse,
William Siegfriedt, Michael Smith
STAFF PRESENT: Carolyn Collopy, Dennis Marino, Bobbie Newman
CITIZENS PRESENT: Mary Gavin, Evanston Round Table, Ed Domingo
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Joel Freeman, Chair
I. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freeman called the meeting to order at 7:21 a.m., a quorum being present.
H. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF MAY 9, 2008*
The Commission voted by majority with one abstaining, 4-1, to approve the
May 9, 2008 meeting notes.
III. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Governmental Policy & Legislative/Regulatory Actions (Arlene Haas)
There were no reports from Commission members.
B. Distribution Systems Franchise Agreements (Paul Morse, Bill Siegfriedt)
Mr. Morse will retrieve the Chicago franchise agreement for the next meeting.
C. Public Information (Paul Morse, Stefano Mereu)
The Commission discussed an ad in the Evanston Chamber of Commerce
Evanston Guide regarding updates on Evanston's energy programs and
tips on how to reduce the carbon footprint. The Commission will consider
using this publication, Highlights, and the Evanston Round Table as means
to disseminate information to the public.
The Commission discussed a green building ordinance proposed by the
Environmental Board at the July 7, 2008 1-luman Services Committee
meeting, mandating that all commercial new construction over 10,000 sq.
ft. be LEED silver -certified and that all City -financed projects be LEED
gold -certified. The Commission discussed converting an existing building
to comply with new "methods of operation" and energy usage standards in
order to earn LEED certification ("LEED Eli"), compared to commercial
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
July 11, 2008
Page 2
interiors and shell and core designing in a new building which are not
monitored for energy usage/operation after construction.
Chair Freeman hopes to schedule'Mr. Leonard Scianra of the Environmental
Board to speak at the next Energy Commission meeting about the proposed
ordinance. The proposed ordinance %ill be included in the next Energy
Commission meeting packet. Mr. Marino stated that the Facilities Management
and Community Development Departments have an interest in the level of
standard to be required and the penalties related to it. He added that there is a
strong commitment to higher green standards. It is a question of what is a realistic
tool in achieving that.
Chair Freeman mentioned that the State modified the law related to the State
Energy Conservation Code so that it automatically updates to the latest published
International Energy Conservation Code which comes out every three years.
Because it is state wide it applies to everyone and it would probably be the most
stringent. It has a prescriptive path and a performance path which requires
buildings to use energy below a certain cost threshold over the course of a year.
Chair Freeman acknowledged the guests at the meeting: Mary Gavin of the
Evanston Round Table, and Ed Domingo, an Evanston resident.
IV. REVIEW OF RELIABILITY ISSUES
A. Com Ed Periodic (Bi-annual) Report
Underground failures were the main concern of the Commission, leading
to the Commission's request of Corn Ed to provide an inventory listing
and information about their preventative maintenance and replacement
programs. Regarding the summer critical wort: section of the report, the
Commission has questions about the determination of the categorizations.
An Environmental Disclosure Report distributed by Com Ed enclosed
with electric bills was discussed. fir. Grumman provided a list of the
nuclear power percentages over the years. illustrating that the percentage
goes up until 2007, when it drops sharply. The March 31, 2008 statement
attributes unknown resources to each source. Mr. Siegfriedt stated that the
2006-07 percentages appear to show that there were no refuclings in 2006
and multiple refuclings in 2007. Refueling takes a nuclear unit out for a
quarter. A unit may run 3 or for years without refueling, but when it
refuels, it will only run '/. of the vear. These percentages may illustrate a
year when several of the 12 nuclear units are refueling, where none have
refueled in other years. Mr. Grumman asked that the TRG ask Corn Ed
whether this is the case. Chair Freeman said he suspects that the
proportions haven't changed, but the way they have been classified has.
The Commission discussed the meaning of the data in the report in
relation to the changes in laws, procedures, the market and method of
reporting.
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
July 11, 2008
Page 3
The Commission discussed the assistance programs advertised in the bill
enclosure: The residential program, LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program) and the Smart Ideas Energy Program, a sta:c
incentive program, for which residents pay, as a line item on electric bills
(approximately $.20). 25% of the funds are for municipalities, low
income residential buildings and publicly funded schools. The 2 utilities
in Illinois, Com Ed and Ameron, have the other 75% for commercial use.
The first grant cycle was rolled out in .tune. About 10% of available funds
have been applied for. For the whole state, the fund was allotted $40
million for the 1 st year and $100 million for the next 2 years. It is
distributed on a first come, first serve basis.
B. Issues for discussion with Cam Ed
1) An inventory listing and information about their preventative
maintenance and replacement programs
2) Determination of Corn Ed's categorizations of summer critical work
3) In the Environmental Disclosure report: meaning of disparity in
percentages of nuclear power after 2007
4) Recent outages since last report: seem to be correlated with storms
V. OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Ed Domingo suggested that the Commission ask Mr. Sciarro whether revoking a
Certificate of Occupancy is in the proposed Green Building Ordinance. Mr. Marino
replied that once a building is constructed, you cannot revoke a Certificate of Occupancy.
A financial penalty may be put in place to enforce the ordinance.

11. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING NOTES OF July, 2008*
The Commission voted by majority with one abstaining (4-1) to approve the
July 11, 2008 meeting notes.
III. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Governmental Policy & Legislative/Regulatory Actions
The Commission discussed an article in the Chicago Tribune announcing a
$4.50 per month increase on electric bills, and the exploration of the
"smart grid." The increase is 25% less than was requested by Com Ed.
The Commission discussed the cause of an outage that occurred in
Evanston in the past few weeks during an extended period of rain, relating
to an automatic recloser. The estimated time to restore electric service
(2.5 hours) given on Com Ed's automated phone message was longer than
the actual time it took for electric service to be restored ('_ hours).
B. Distribution Systems Franchise Agreements
Mr. Morse reported that Chicago's Franchise :Agreement with Com Ed is not
readily accessible on the internet. I le reported that it is 15 years old and it runs
for 29 years (14 more years). It is managed by the Department of Environment.
He offered to snake a "Freedom of Information Act" request and try to obtain it
for the next meeting. In researching the Chicago/Com Ed Franchise, the
Commission will focus on the concessions agreed upon between the City of
Chicago and Com Ed that Evanston may be interested in, such as the
infrastructure maintenance fee, green power language, and monitoring and
meetings regarding certain substations.
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
September 12, 2008

C. Public Information
The Commission discussed disseminating information about the state's Energy
Conservation Incentive Program/Fund through Evanston's Highlights publication,
the Chamber of Commerce and in the Evanston Round Table. Chair freeman
acknowledged the presence of Mary Gavin of the Evanston Round Table. Bobbie
Ne%vrnan reported the deadlines for Highlights entries, which are mid -October for
the December — February issue and July 11 for the August issue.
Chair Freeman distributed information about the state -legislated Energy
Conservation Incentive program. The Commission discussed ways to explain and
simplify the process for the public to make it more appealing and easier to
interpret, apply for and access.
Department of Commercial and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is the
administrator of the funds, which are a line item on all electric bills. The bigger
the customer, the more they would want to benefit from the fund by receiving
compensation for their efforts towards energy conservation. 75% of the funds are
for Ameron and Com Ed's commercial, industrial and residential customers; 25%
is for municipalities and government funded housing. The applications are taken
on a cyclical, annual basis. Funds not used will be rolled over into the next year.
Chair Freeman added that there is no indication that the fund is running out and
therefore wants to encourage all Evanston customers to take advantage of this
opportunity.
Mr. Siegfriedt suggested publishing an article about ways residents can conserve
energy this winter such as reducing their thermostats, strategic placement of space
heaters, the danger and expense of using a cooking oven or a fireplace for heat
and electric versus gas heating. I -le suggested showing examples of the difference
in bills and ways to calculate the projected energy expense. Mr. Mereu will draft
the article for the next Energy Commission meeting.
Chair Freeman distributed information on Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIIJEAP) and suggested disseminating infi nuation to low income
households, noting; that households with disconnected service may apply for
assistance earlier. 1-le added that the Franchise states that the City will provide
Com Ed with a list of customers whose electricity has been turned off. Mr.
Marino suggested we disseminate LIHEAP information through the Community
and Economic Development Association of Cool; County (CFDA) and the City's
Health and I luman Services Department. I le suggested that Patricia Vance of
CEDA speak with the Energy Commission.
IV. REVIEW OF RELIABILITV ISSUES
A. Com Ed Periodic (Bi-annual) Report
The Commission discussed the causes of interruptions oil the bi-annual
report in relation to the Glossary of Interruption Causes (to be distributed
at the next meeting), noting that the subcategories are not listed on the bi-
annual report. The categories discussed were Personnel Errors,
Equipment Related, Tree Related and Weather Related. The Commission
will investigate the reference to the "2007 Annual Franchise Report"
found in the footer of the bi-annual report.
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
' September 12, 2008
Page 3
B. TRG Meeting Report
Chair Freeman reported that it was requested that a time stamp as well as
date stamp be added to the periodic outage report.
In an effort to relay the concept of the Commission's request for
documentation of data on all underground cables, Mr. Siegfriedt provided
Com Ed representatives with a template. The overhead cables are
inspected visually every four years unless there is trouble, and every two
years if there arc outage issues (at which time documentation could be
recorded). Mr. Morse commented that Com Ed has a Reliability Council
from which the City might be able to receive information that could be
helpful.
The Commission discussed the painting of the substations. It was noted
that Com Ed does not paint them, and they need to be painted or concealed
from view.
Mr. Marino noted that Com Ed's Reliability Council meets at least
monthly and that they have groups that meet after storms and some that
meet daily to address reliability. Mr. Siegfriedt suggested that we would
like them to be more proactive than reactive in addressing reliability. The
Commission will continue to advocate moving underground cable
inventory data higher up on Com Ed's priority list, starting with the
troublesome circuits.
V. OTHER BUSINESS
The proposed Green Building Ordinance and its enforcement arc to be discussed by the
Environment Board, Staff and the Building Division at the September 150s, 2008 Human
Services Committee meeting.
Mr. Marino suggested that Carolyn Collopy be consulted as to how other cities are
addressing the issue of green building enforcement. The Commission discussed the
balance of attracting the "creative class" on a global level as well as keeping enough
industry/commerce in Evanston, where land is expensive. Mr. Marino mentioned the
concept of "Incentive Zoning- i.e. advantages to developers in exchange for public
benefits.

III. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Governmental Policy & Legislative/Regulatory Actions
Ms. Haas reported that the Citizens' Utility Board (CUB) is appealing Com
Ed's rate increase because it believes Com Ed is exaggerating its expenses.
Ms. Haas reported that the Illinois Electricity Cooperative is trying to move
north to provide competition for Com Ed. It will be called the New Illinois
Cooperative Energy (NICE), a subsidiary of the Southwestern Electric
Cooperative. News of this can he found on the Illinois Commerce
Commission (ICC) wcbsite. Ms. Haas reported that an Illinois law has passed
this summer stating that electricity cannot be turned off if it is above 95°.
The Commission discussed the status of the proposed Green Building
Ordinance. Changes to the Ordinance are being proposed relating to the
square footage required to be l.EED certified, an enforcement mechanism for
the Ordinance and other issues. There will be a discussion at the Human
Services Committee meeting at which the public is invited to speak on
October 20, 2008. The pending Climate Action Plan would support the
Ordinance and is expected to be introduced in November of 2008.

IV. REVIEW OF RELIABILITY ISSUES
A. Nicor Issues
There were no recent challenges or emergencies to report. Nicor has been
conducting more forums and making themselves more visible to the public.
Mr. Morse reported that Nicor stated in a press release that they have high
quantities of gas in storage compared to previous years. Chair Freeman
commented that the price of gas is now influenced by many more factors than
supply and demand, adding that prices tend to be higher during the summer
and lower in heating season.
In a discussion of City vehicles using natural gas, Ms. Collopy stated that the
shared natural gas pump (with Skokie) has been removed for lack of use.
There are only 2 City vehicles using natural gas.
Chair Freeman noted that Proliance Energy puts on wcbcasts regarding energy
issues.
Mr. Marino commented that Warren Buffet bought Constellation.
V. COMMUNICATIONS

Chair Freeman noted that on the insert in our electric bills, the "unknown sources"
percentage is now shown as 3%. The mix of power sources has changed. The
Commission discussed the source mix: nuclear, coal, wind, and unknown.
Chair Freeman noted that on his electric bill the contribution to the Energy and
Demand Reduction Incentive Program (line item labeled, 'Energy Efficiency
Programs') was 23L•, based on S0.00053 per kilowatt-hour used. adding that much
bigger users pay much more.
Chair Freeman reported that all of the first year money for the Commercial Energy
Efficiency Rebate Program has been claimed by applicants. Whoever applies now
will get next year's money. Ms. Collopy noted that there is still money left for
municipalities and schools. The Facilities Management and Water Departments of
the City have applied for reimbursements for energy conservation from this program.

IfL COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Distribution Systems Franchise Agreements
Mr. Marino provided a copy of the Chicago/Com Ed Franchise Agreement. The
Commission discussed the compensation portion of the agreement, noting that no
reference is made to the infrastructure maintenance fee, as it pre -dates the agreement.
The Commission will investigate the documentation that adds the infrastructure
maintenance fee to the agreement.

1V. REVIEW OF RELIABILITY ISSUES
A. Com Ed Periodic Reliability Report, October 1, 2008
The Commission reviewed the "interruptions by Cause" and "Length of
Duration' sections of the report and discussed comparing Evanston with other
North Shore territories. Mr. Janctske stated that Com Ed's response to stornt
related outages has been rapid. The Commission discussed the graphs
showing causes of service interruptions: trees (often wind -driven) were the
highest'number of causes. The Commission agreed that the incidence of 34
underground outages substantiates their concern about underground cable.
Chair Freeman noted that the 2007-08 report shows they have already hit the
annual levels of outages in 2006-07. The Commission members discussed
whether they are monitoring them more precisely or the problem is increasing
in frequency. This will be discussed with Com Ed, as well as a request for a
time stamp in addition to the date of outages and restoration of service. The
Commission discussed the importance of tree trimming.
The Commission discussed the "Projected 2008 Evanston Circuit Loads"
spreadsheet of the report showing categories: Circuit, 2007 Peak % Loading,
Projected 2008 % Loading, Description and Planned Completion Date. They
discussed the question of what determines Com Ed's system of loading and
relieving circuits.
The increase in underground failures and more specific outage questions will
be discussed by the Technical Review Group in February 2009.
B. Nicor Issues
Mr. Janctske commented that Nicor has gotten better in their response to
problems, such as accidentally puncturing gas lines at construction sites.
V. ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY FOR CITY FACILITY, DAVE COOK
Mr. Cook stated that the City signed a 2-year contract with MidAmerican Energy
Company (rated A- by Standard &. Poor's), to provide electrical power to the 23
largest facilities at a rate of6.8Gc/1:Wh (kilowatt hour). The City's previous
contract with Constellation pro%-ided electric power at the rate of 7.2e/kWh. He
said the difference is approximately S2,000'year. He said that AidAmerican
generates their own electricity in Iowa so they won't he as subject to financial
pressures as those who do not. He said he worked with Freddie Greenberg to
create the contract since the electrical industry does not have a standard contract
(like the natural gas industry).
Mr. Cook said the City still has a power shedding agreement with Constellation
that is separate from the contract with MidAmerican, and may provide the City a
significant check at the end of the year. The Commission discussed the City's
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
November 14, 2008
Page 3
options regarding a power shedding agreement, which would provide a reserve of
power if the contracted provider needed it. Mr. Cook said he vdll inquire with
Ms. Greenberg whether she can provide a contract for a power shedding
agreement.
The Commission discussed renewable energy certificates (RECs) and requested a
resource speaker.
VI. COMMUNICATIONS
Evanston Climate Action Plan (ECAP)
Ms. Collopy reported that ECAP was well received by City Council and that the
plan is now in affect and the next step will be to carry out components of the plan.
She explained that no money is appropriated with plans but they become a
framework that may implement the appropriation of funds. She further explained
that the Environment Board's proposal requiring LEED certification of certain
buildings is consistent with ECAP. She said the City will probably start with
components of the plan that already have resources in place.
Ms. Collopy reported that Evanston is one of 13 cities invited to participate in an
energy challenge sponsored by Com Ed and the Metropolitan Mayors' Caucus for
which $2 million has been set aside. Each city will propose a program to achieve
energy savings for municipal buildings and some other criteria. The City with the
best proposal will receive 5100,000 to be used at its discretion. She said that
ECAP is already set up to do what the proposal requires, and that Evanston was
selected because of its environmental initiatives.
The Commission discussed the possibility of wind farms off of Lake Michigan, at
the inquiry of Mr. Siegfricdt. Ms. Collopy said a feasibility study would have to
be done first.
Galvin Smart Grid Presentation
The presentation was submitted by the Mayor for the Commission's information.
The Commission discussed whether the "Smart Grid" provides savings to
residential customers and its feasibility, expense and impact, and whether it would
control residential consumption.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 9:1 1 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for
December 12, 2008.

Mr. Marino informed the Commission that Donna Stuckert is no longer working at
the City and Assistant to the City Manager, Mr. Joe McRae is currently handling the
City's publications.
IV. REVIEW OF RELIABILITY ISSUES
A. Com Ed Reliability
Mr. Marino announced the Technical Review Group (TRG) will meet with
Com Ed on February 13, 2009 at 8:30 a.m., directly after a one hour Energy
Commission meeting. The Commission will discuss questions to be asked of
Com Ed at the January 2009 meeting, which is being rescheduled on January
16ei from January 9`h. Mr. Marino will make arrangements for the meeting
with Eric Duran of Com Ed.
B. Nicor Issues
There were no Nicor service issues over the last month.
Mr. Cook reported that the City purchased gas from Proliance for the City's
15 major accounts. For the little ones it is purchased from Nicor. He
explained that we buy it in a speculative arrangement through Proliance when
the price is low, which has,,vorked so far but this year the cost of gas was very
high in the summer and looked like it would continue to go higher. He
explained that since gas prices are cyclical, gas prices are lower from spring
through fall because demand is less, so in early fall the City bought some gas
for the winter and it is lower now, but Mr. Cook said he believes it has been
worth the risk. He said he buys gas about 6 months in advance but the City is
up for bid for a new provider similar to the bid for electricity so he is trying
not to have too much of an overlap of gas in storage from one gas supplier to
the next. He said he will probably be looking to the Energy Commission for
some guidance in the next month regarding the request for proposals, but they
have been happy mith Proliance. The State certifies electricity suppliers but
for gas he %will have to be sure they are economically viable. The City also
does not want to incur the expense of consultants for this purpose.
V. DISCUSSION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES
Chair Freeman welcomed Andy Dickerson of Integris. who has worked with Mr.
Cook for 2 or 3 vears on energy procurement, to speak about Renewable Energy
Certificates (RECs).
Mr. Dickerson said Integris has been trying to define "green energy" as a product
to sell. He said most customers who ask for green energy are villages that have
mandates that can lock in 5% or 10%. He defined Renewable Energy
Certificates, also known as green tags or tradable renewable certificates as
"representing the environmental attributes of the power produced from a
renewable energy project that are sold separately from the commodity,
electricity." He said the "attributes" of the REC are what set the price of the
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
December 12, 2008
Page 3 of 7
REC, so they must be evaluated. He said he finds out the customer's goals and
objectives. RECs can be investments in green infrastructure, true green supply or
a carbon offset. This is where the differences is in what is being procured.
Mr. Dickerson said a key word is "direct" because an REC can be re -sold. Today
you can buy a 2006 REC that was an infrastructure investment. It can be traded
and passed down. Integris intends to audit a REC back to its source and at that
point a REC can be expired. He said the question is what type of investment you
are purchasing, for example a technology investment or a wind investment. He
cited TerraPass as a good example because you can figure out your carbon
footprint and they %Hill plant X amount of trees to offset your carbon footprint,
which is good, but are you able to track your money back? Is it 100% trees or is it
20% trees and 80% profit for TerraPass? He said there are many green brokers
out there and a customer needs to define their goals as a place to start. He said
Integris does a lot of the demand side of green infrastructure, for example there is
a big farm in southern Illinois where they are turning waste into energy and
Integris's project is to figure out how to get the energy they are producing into the
grid and whether that is a green investment.
Chair Freeman asked how they investigate where the investors' money goes. Mr.
Dickerson said this is the challenge. There are many brokers and wind farms and
industry, including steel, in Illinois. Electricity is produced and goes into the grid
and gets moved out and figuring out how to track it is a challenge.
Mr. Siegfriedt said he doesn't have an issue with how it gets delivered but with
making sure that when he's buying into that project, if they arc making 10
megawatts of wind power and they arc selling him 1 megawatt of that wind
power, how he would know they haven't sold a megawatt to 100 different
customers. Mr. Dickerson said there are contracts that are made with the
generators and if you are contracted %%ith that generator, you can audit it back to
the source. If you are procuring 2 megawatts out of that 10, they are obligated to
put into the grid what you contracted for. He said Integris does the same with its
end users. He said the Green E Agency helps to prevent double selling of green
power. There are RECs that are "Green E Certified" and "Green E Certifiable."
Mr. Siegfriedt said that typically renewable energy is not dispatchable, and clearly
there is a dispatchable demand, so, he asked how Integris resolves this issue with
its demand. Mr. Dickerson replicrd that it is a slippery, slope and the other
investment could be that the City purchases solar panels for all their schools and
puts a defined amount of money into the infrastructure and that may alleviate that
issue. Fie said the tricky part is defining the goal, for example, whether to build
solar for all the schools, or to purchase power from a green generator. Mr.
Siegfriedt asked if that means a certificate just says a piece of electric capacity is
dedicated to him and has nothing to do with energy, to which Mr. Dickerson
replied, in some cases, yes, and that the challenge is defining what a certificate
represents. FIe said if the City bought green energy from Integris they would not
,Energy Commission Meeting Notes
December 12, 2008
Page 4 of 7
get a certificate. They would just be paying X amount of dollars for X amount of
power and Integris could audit it back to the source so the City would be getting
true green power, but if you were to go to TerraPass and offset you carbon
footprint with trees, they would send you a certificate, but there would be no
audit. He said getting a source that you can audit back to a generator is
expensive. It is about a $5.00 premium per megawatt to a power deal and ti
months ago, if you put that premium on Evanston's energy contract, the City
would no longer be saving.
He said many Integris customers are budget conscious and want to save for
example I0% with their electricity and gas, so Integris must ask what kind of
risks they are willing to take. He said the City of Evanston said they are going to
float on index, so they could lock into any price for gas and save over last year,
but it is the timing. Add a green source on top of the price and they may no
longer be saving. He said Com Ed's green energy is landfill gas and some wind
and many end users currently extract landfill gas for their manufacturing process.
Mr. Grumman asked if a City contracted for 24 months with 10% 20% and 40%
renewable energy certificates, what the percents mean, what you do with the
RECs, at what point you do it and how they affect the overall cost of the
electricity. Mr. Cook explained that the City went out for a fixed price. They
received a couple of fixed prices from a few suppliers and they chose the lowest
fixed price for the 24 months. There was a vast discrepancy on the cost of RECs.
By saying 10% or 20% they were tying to give the City Council the opportunity
to choose how green they wanted the City to be. You can offset 10% or 20%, he
said, which he interprets to mean that if we have 10% offset of green power on
100 watts of power then 10 watts would be supplied by either wind, solar or some
green renewable source, and the City would pay that premium because
supposedly green sources aren't as economical to generate. So the REC to him
was the incremental cost to buy green power and he imagined that the premium
went to a power source. Mr. Grumman clarified that Integris would be
contractually obligated to buy enough wind power to satisfy all the end users. Mr.
Dickerson said if Evanston purchases a certain amount of power at a certain price,
ideally, Integris would like to be able to audit it back to the wind generator who
puts that wind into the grid. In Evanston's contract RECs are separate and
independent from the contract price. To exercise these it will cost the City more
money, and that difference in price is N1r. Cook's biggest question, therefore he is
not recommending anything. Mr. Dickerson said the prices of RECs should be
similar. The Commission discussed the effect re -selling RECs has on their price,
the integrity of the REC, the immaturity of the program and the lack of
government regulation.
Ms. Collopy wondered whether it matters if the RECs we buy are for locally used
energy or energy to be used elsewhere. Mr. Dickerson said that is a good point
and that an infrastructure improvement most likely take place in Texas, so the
EnergrCommission Meeting Notes
December 1?, ?008
Page 5 of 7
City must determine that. The Commission discussed how to define local
generation and what the City's parameters of "local" generation should be.
Mr. Dickerson said when Integris buys power to sell to Illinois they go to the
Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland (PJM) market, which is where Com Ed's price is
set. A.meron's is set at MISO and Texas, elsewhere. He said natural gas is easy
because anyone can go to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and see where the
price of gas is trading.
Chair Freeman said the City does not have to define one scenario in its RFP, it
can have a base commodity and the alternates, for instance, wind only, solar only,
audited, etc. Mr. Dickerson said the City's contract with lntegris is in place as of
January 1st, 2009 and it does not include RECs yet. Mr. Cook said he gets about
one call a week from people trying to sell RECs. Mr. Dickerson said he gets calls
from end users asking for green energy.
Mr. Grumman asked whether other countries are doing this, to which Mr.
Dickerson replied that Europe has gone very far with nuclear energy. Mr.
Siegfriedt pointed out that France is pro -nuclear but Sweden, Austria and
Germany are anti-nuclear, and Iceland is completely geo-thermal. Mr. Marino
asked how Whole Foods purchases their «Ind power to which Mr. Dickerson
replied that they are probably doing several different green things but many big
box stores such as Whole Foods, Best Buy, Walgreens and Cosco are doing
innovative things to be green, for example, J. C. Penny and Whole Foods are
putting wind turbines on some of their stores. The Commission discussed various
companies that are doing their own greening which may eliminate the need for a
certificate and the fact that it is also a marketing tool.
Mr. Dickerson concluded that ways to tangibly define green efforts are still being
formed. Calculating carbon footprints is a place to start.
Mr. Cook concluded that the City must decide how it wants to contribute to the
global and or local greening effort.
VI. COMMUNICATIONS
2009 Energy Commission Meeting Schedule
The Commission approved the 2009 Energy Commission meeting schedule with
the exception that the January 9`r' meeting «ill be reschedules to January 16`h and
the April l0ei meeting may be rescheduled after further discussion.
Energy Commission Meeting Notes
December 12, 2008
Page 6 of 7
Article: Exelon 2020 -- In Pursuit of More Sustainable Energy
Chair Freeman began a discussion of John Roe's keynote speech, saying he
suggested a scenario where nuclear is part of the answer. Mr. Grumman
mentioned James Hansen, the NASA scientist who was one of the first to talk of
global warming, saying Mr. Hansen doesn't think cap and trade is good and is
now for nuclear power. Mr. Siegfriedt agreed that we don't have another solution
to global warming other than nuclear power. The Commission discussed the
alternatives. Mr. Grumman pointed out that there are advantages and
disadvantages to every kind of energy source, for example when hydro power
damns burst, many people are killed and with coal power there are mining
accidents. In defense of nuclear power, Mr. Siegfriedt said that more irradiation
comes out of a 500 megawatt coal fired plant than a 500 megawatt nuclear plant.
He said because of a fear of terrorism, President Carter mandated a ban on
reprocessing nuclear fuel and that 90% of a fuel rod that's finished is still good
uranium. Before the ban, we would grind it up, separate the uranium from the
plutonium, put the uranium back together and have 90% new rods. The fear was
that the plutonium would be obtained by terrorists, but, he said the French and the
Russians have a lot of plutonium so we are not solving anything by not separating
it and we arc using 10 times the uranium needed and making 10 times as much
waste. He said we do need new safe reprocessing plants.
Ms. Collopy said she does not think we should put all our money into one energy
source. In agreement Mr. Siegfriedt said the Powder River basin in Wyoming has
200 years worth of coal, a resource that the rest of the world is extremely jealous
of and is one of the things that makes the United States the strong power it is. He
said by ignoring the coal, we ignore that major resource and we do need the
diversity in fuel supply.
Article: San Francisco Green initiative
Chair Freeman opened the discussion of San Francisco's green point system. He
wondered if it has the potential to be an adjunct to the green building ordinance
being considered in Evanston. Ms. Collopy said it probably does not because
they have another party doing this and it will be several years before it equals
LEED Silver. She said we are using LEED because we don't have the resources
to create a green building program and regulate it ourselves. Her research has
shown that cities that design their green building programs struggle for the
resources to enforce them. She said San Francisco probably has the resources to
enforce it. Chair Freeman said they address residential structures. Ms. Collopy
said the Environment Board's intention is to take the first step towards that by
looking at commercial and multi family.
Ms. Collopy told the Commission about the Cam Ed Energy Challenge that Evanston,
one of 13 cities, has been invited to participate in, sponsored by Com Ed in collaboration
with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Evanston is to submit a
proposal for a program design that achieves a number of objectives including energy
conservation to municipal buildings and the community and helping Com Ed get to the
Energy -Commission Meeting Notes
December 12, 2009
Page 7 of 7
hard to reach businesses in our community to help them spend the rebate money of the
future. The City with the best proposal will get $100,000 at the end of the year that the
proposed savings arc achieved.
Ms. Collopy will have 3 months to put together the proposal. She said we have an
advantage as a community that has an action plan already in place that incorporates many
of their goals. Chair Freeman offered the help of the Energy Commission.
A discussion of candidates for the next annual election of Commission members will be
on the January agenda, with elections in February.
